Operating Instructions Water Reservoir 1. Always fill the Steamer with water before plugging it in. 2.

Steamer Operation 5. To power on the Steamer, slide the ON/OFF switch to the ON position. When power is on, the switch illuminates. 6. Ensure the T-nozzle is on the door hook while water is heating. Steam is produced from the nozzle in five to six minutes. 7.
Steaming Garments 1. To remove garment wrinkles, grasp the T-nozzle with the steam jets facing away from you. Begin at the bottom of the fabric, allowing the steam to rise inside and outside the garment. Slowly move the nozzle from the bottom to the top of the fabric.
Steaming Garments •To allow condensation to flow back into the Steamer, always steam with the hose in an upright position. •If you steam in a low position, condensation collects inside the hose. This causes a gurgling sound and some water droplets to form near the steam jets on the "T"...
Cleaning and Storage 4. Remove all excess water from the reservoir by lifting the unit and pouring water down a drain. 5. Wrap hose around the water container and replace T-nozzle in its cradle. Note: To ensure continued operation of the Steamer, never store without cleaning and removing excess water from the reservoir and water container.

Decalcification Note: Minerals in water vary in different areas. To ensure contin- ued operation of the Steamer, never store without cleaning and removing excess water from the reservoir and water container. 1. To decalcify, mix a solution of 1/3 white vinegar and 2/3 water in the water reservoir.
